3 Little-Known Things That Kill Your Presentations Every Time When You Ignore Them

There are 3 little-known things that people do in their presentations that hinder their success. Many people have no idea that these are mistakes they are making when they’re presenting.

Whether you’re presenting on Facebook lives, Insta lives or stories, webinars, workshops, or if you’re presenting 1:1 to your clients, you may be doing some of these things without realising.

The reason I’m so passionate about this is that I love supporting people to step up as a leader and position themselves as someone valuable and worthy of being listened to.

Presenting to groups has been the #1 thing that has grown my business, even though I used to be so scared of it.

It has enabled me to create a life of fulfilment and freedom, have a voice, fast-track my business success and help more people, which has all been possible by leveraging the power of events.

Before I started presenting, I was only working with people one-to-one.

I LOVED doing one-to-one work with people, it was my comfort zone. I’m an introvert and didn’t like being the focus of attention and didn’t want to present in front of groups of people. I didn’t want to be the one up the front with everyone looking at them.

But I remember a moment in time where I was at a big convention called Filex, sitting in the crowd listening to the speaker.

And I suddenly it hit me – and I had one of those ‘penny-drop’ moments that surprised me.

I thought “It’s going to take me waaaaay too long to build the business I want to build one by one! I’m never going to have the impact that I want to have. I want to be a presenter. I want to be the one on stage!”

I remember thinking “I HAVE to get over this fear of speaking to group. I HAVE to learn to present”.

At the time I was working as a fitness and health coach, only doing one-on-one coaching sessions. My first step to learning to present was to run a small group program at Les Mills called ‘Look Better Naked.’ It was a program for 6 women for 6 weeks.

Les Mills has high standards with qualifying people to deliver their programs and I remember the guy who was assessing me told me I was too quiet and needed to be more outgoing and loud. He said that I needed to ‘fake’ confidence until I felt it.

So I just had to step up.

Eventually, I started running bootcamps and then I started doing 1:many presentations, running seminars at my gym.

I didn’t realise back then the things I was doing wrong, but over time I have learned what NOT to do as a presenter, by doing these things myself.

 

1 – Winging It Without A Structure

The problem that most people have when it comes to creating a presentation, is that they don’t have a proper presentation structure. They wing it without structure.

That’s what I was doing. I was literally showing up and teaching everything that I knew, instead of actually organising my knowledge correctly.

There’s a formula for presenting correctly – in a way where people can receive the information you are giving them. There’s a formula to engage people and maintain people’s attention. I didn’t know any of that.

So, the first thing that people get wrong that kills your presentation is they think they can just show up and ‘flow’ and speak intuitively. They think they can just show up and talk, with no plan or structure.

If we don’t organise our knowledge in a way that someone wants to receive it, we’re actually doing our audience a disservice. I’ve seen this happen so many times where people just think they can speak from the heart, without having planned their presentation.

When you have a formula and structure, you can still flow naturally and be intuitive and speak from your heart. Having a structure doesn’t stop you from being spontaneous, it can actually help it.

If you think about professionals and successful people, how do they become professionals? They practice, practice and practice!

The Netflix documentary ‘The Last Dance’ about Michael Jordan shows this perfectly. It is incredible the amount of practice thatMichael Jordan put in and he was the best in the world.

I was reading that when he was filming the movie Space Jam, they would film for weeks or months on end doing 12-hour days. He would then go straight to training and practice for 5 hours every single day.

When we do a presentation and we are winging it and speaking from the heart, we are doing our audience a disservice. We are not valuing them enough to plan and craft our presentation or use psychology or the power of influence to help people to take action.

Remember every single presentation is designed for someone to take action. It’s not designed for it to just be interesting. You want to inspire someone to take action and that requires crafting your presentation.

Presenting is a profession because it requires crafting and tweaking your words. The higher the stakes, the more you practice. People who do TED talks practice for months beforehand.

2 – Focusing On Yourself And Not On Your Audience

The second thing that kills someone’s presentation is focusing on themselves and not on their audience. This happens all the time because public speaking is so many people’s biggest fear.

It’s the Number 1 fear people have.  People are really self- conscious, and they’re thinking about themselves and what the audience is thinking of them. You can train yourself to overcome this, so when you’re presenting, you’re thinking about your audience.

I spoke at a woman’s event last Sunday and when I was rehearsing for it I brought up pictures of women on Google images on my 2 screens, so when I practised, I was looking at people’s actual faces.

It was a great way to practice for a live event. I don’t put Zoom on gallery view as it’s very distracting. If I have it on gallery view, I look down at the gallery, and then my eyes are not looking at the lens. So I turn off gallery view and only look at the lens so I am then connecting straight to you.

So there’s a difference on video when you’re presenting, then when you are doing a presentation to a live audience. Because it’s been a couple of months since I did a live event, I visualised that live presentation with people in the room together night after night before I went to sleep.

I visualise what I want every night before I go to sleep. I visualise myself helping thousands of people at once.

This is why people will organise their knowledge and put it into a book, or a TED talk. They organise their knowledge so they can help multiple people all at one time.

And so, when I showed up on Sunday, because I had practised and visualised the event, it felt completely normal and there was no need for my brain to throw out fear.

This way I could be really present with the audience and focus on communicating my message as well as I possibly could.

It’s so important that we’re not self-conscious and thinking about how we look and sound, but instead being present and focusing on sharing our message in the best possible way to serve our audience.

Presenting is not always easy, and it takes learning the craft. But it’s worth it because if you get one valuable presentation, it’s an asset and it’s a legacy item. You can use it over and over again.

If you want to fast-track your business, I believe the most logical thing to do is to present to multiple people at one time.

But you’ve got to get over any blocks or fear of presenting so you can fully connect with your audience.

3 – Under-Sharing or Over-Sharing 

Under-Sharing

Under-sharing is being stingy and holding back from giving.

We HAVE to always provide great value, whether they’re getting free content or not. That is super important.

If you think about all the years and all the amount of study and research you’ve done, you won’t be able to put that all into one presentation or even into a week’s worth of content.

We’ve got to make sure that we’re generous and giving really genuine value.

We can’t just give fluffy stuff. We’ve got to give content that has substance and real-life application.

Over-Sharing

On the flip-side is over-sharing. I used to do this all the time. When I ran an all-day event, I would give so much away.

Because I wanted to give so much value, I ended up giving away too much value. This actually ended up doing a disservice to people.

You want your presentations to give value, but you don’t want to over-deliver. You want people to leave hungry for more. You need to be able to spark curiosity and help people see that you can solve the problem they hold.

There’s a sweet spot in the middle of being generous and not giving everything you have away, all at once.

Be like Goldilocks – share just the right amount. (remember the story? “Ahhh, this porridge is just right!”).

A lot of people ask me how do I know the difference of what content to share or not share. Like, how do you know what content should go into your free Facebook Live, webinar or workshop?

Many times, it’s very case-by-case, figuring out what should be shared and what shouldn’t be shared.

There’s an art and a science to it and requires crafting and mapping it out.

If you think of a client journey – there are people that don’t know you, so the content that you share with them is going to be different to people who come to your workshops, or who consistently show up on your Facebook Lives, for example.

Everyone’s in a different stage on the journey. And that’s why it’s so individual, there’s really not just one rule. It depends on multiple factors.

I’ll be unpacking these factors and so much more this coming Saturday at my free event ‘How To Get Clients With Online Events’.

It’s happening THIS Saturday 24th October.

I will be sharing the formula I’ve learned from the last 13+ years of doing live and online events to help you get clients from events.

I’ve used this formula to build my business into a 6-figure coaching business. It’s my best strategy for attracting new clients.

The #1 Thing That Helps You To Consistently Attract Ideal Clients, In As Little As 1 Hour

Last week in my blog and video, I shared 3 things that prevent people from attracting clients on social media.

If you haven’t seen it yet, you can check it out here

Following on from that, this week I share the ONE main thing that exploded my business, which removes all 3 of these problems.

For the last 13 years I’ve been using this strategy, and it’s the one thing that helps me attract clients, be able to hold their attention and inspire them to take action.

To recap, here are the 3 things that prevent people from attracting clients on social media:

1 – Not Knowing How To Attract People

One of the main reasons people struggle to get clients is not knowing how to ATTRACT people.

Being able to attract people is crucial for growing your business consistently.

The brutal reality is that if you don’t effective attraction skills, you’re probably not going to stay in business very long.

The good news is, like any skill, the skill of being able to ATTRACT clients can be learned.

2 – Not Being Able To Hold People’s Attention

The second reason is not being able to hold their attention. They may get people to like a post, but they can’t hold the attention of people.

People move on fast if you don’t keep their attention. Attention is everything.

Social media is a great way to build connections and relationships, but it’s not a great place to keep people’s attention. It’s a noisy place with lots of distractions. 

There is so much information you need to share to build connection and trust, but most people have a low attention span.

3 – Not Being Able To Inspire People To Take Action

The third reason people struggle to get clients is that they’re not sure how to inspire someone to take action.

This is where a lot of people fall down relying on social media to get clients.

A lot of people think that if they put up content posts with tips on Facebook and Instagram that they will get clients.

But it doesn’t often work that way. You also need to be able to inspire people to take action.

This is why I recommend running events. It’s the best way to get and maintain someone’s attention.

Running Events – The Number 1 Thing That Attracts Ideal Clients Consistently

Running events is like purchasing a ticket to a concert. People turn up and give you their attention for a long period of time, and that’s not possible with social media.

The fastest way to hold someone’s attention for the amount of time needed to build trust and rapport is by running an event.

It could be a free event like a webinar or workshop, online or in person. There’s no way to hold someone’s attention for long on social media or even by reading your blog that compares with running an event.

This is why big companies do live presentations. Like Steve Jobs did with the iPhone. Apple have billions of dollars and they could have marketed in other ways, but they chose to present their new product at a live event.

Learning to present so you can run events is directly related to how successful you’ll be in your business.

Presenting is a learned skill. If you’re not willing to learn the skill, you’ll most likely struggle to stay in business for long.

The problem is a lot of people are scared to learn it because of fear. Fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of people not showing up,  the fear of looking stupid, not having enough content and not being good enough.

For many years, I’ve encouraged people to run events and I sometime get resistance because of these fears.

If you were with me 14 years ago, you would have found yourself in a studio in a Les Mills gym in New Zealand where I was running a small seminar.

I was training for a bodybuilding competition at the time and learning a whole lot about muscle gain, supplements and protein.

So I went to my gym manager and asked if I can run an event and if she would help me market it.

I was so nervous and scared. I didn’t really know what I was doing. I didn’t know that I needed to structure the event,  how market it correctly, I didn’t really know anything!

I think back about it now and it wasn’t great… but this event positioned me as being different in the gym, because the other personal trainers weren’t doing it.

When you position yourself as a person that’s willing to overcome the fear of presenting, you put yourself ahead of others.

At the moment you don’t have to book a venue or organise food or any of that because we have this awesome technology like Zoom that you can use to run online events.

Running events is so much more powerful than doing Facebook Live videos

On a Facebook Live, there’s no buying behaviour happening. It’s entertaining and educational, but people aren’t looking to buy. There’s different psychology when people register for an event.

You don’t have to be a polished presenter. You can start with a 60-minute webinar – they are very doable. I started from scratch and learned from making mistakes and using trial and error…

When I came to Sydney, I started running little monthly meetup groups in my local library. About 20 people would show up every month. Some of them would go on to become clients and some of them would just keep coming month-to-month and they enjoyed the community.

Events have been the #1 thing that has helped me get booked solid with ideal clients.

One day I was sitting in an event listening to Benjamin J Harvey speak. I remember realising that my events were educating people, but I didn’t have a proper structure or formula. I was just downloading content to people.

I didn’t know how to use frames, the right content, language, or how to effectively influence people and keep their attention.

So I invested in a presenting course because I recognised the importance of it. Presenting is a skill that I want to develop for the rest of my life.

If you want to increase your positioning and your credibility as the authority in your sphere of influence, presenting and holding events is the way to do it. All of your presentations become valuable assets that you can use later.

Presenting is something that will differentiate you from your competition. It will allow you to build massive trust with people and it will help you hold people’s attention and build engagement.

I’ve done over 200 events now. If you saw my very first seminar back in that gym studio all those years ago, you would have seen that I wasn’t confident, I was worried, I had so much fear, I was insecure…

… but I’m so grateful to my past self for giving it a crack.

I’m so blessed that I’ve now had teachers that have taught me how to do it properly.

It gives me a lot of security and certainty to know that whenever I need to get clients, I know that I’ve developed the skill of being able to speak and present and this will always bring me clients.

That’s what I would love to help you with.

Since my wobbly ‘give it a crack’ start at the gym, I’ve been blessed to build a six-figure coaching business, working from home, mainly because of the power of running events.

This is why I decided to run an event where I teach you how to do it.

I’m packing the best of my learnings into one day, and I’ve decided to offer it completely free.

I’m going to be sharing my 7 pillars to profit from presenting, I’ll take you behind the scenes so you learn how to create and deliver really effective presentations, show you how to structure them, leverage your online events, facilitate great connections with people and ultimately, know exactly how to get new, ideal clients.

3 Reasons Why You’re Not Attracting Clients On Social Media

Social media is an incredible place to build relationships and get to know people and have them get to know you.

Your ideal clients are no doubt hanging out on social media right now.

But on the flip side, social media is a place of noise and distraction, where people are pulled in all different directions and consumed by so many other things.

Social media is designed to get us to keep us on there, scrolling, always looking at something new. So it can be really challenging to get people to actually stay engaged and maintain their attention.

Social media can help you get clients for sure. But there’s definitely an effective way to do it and an ineffective way to do it.

There are 3 main reasons why people don’t get clients on social media…

1 – Not Knowing How To Attract People

Only 3% of people actually are ready to buy something right away.

People usually know their problem, but don’t always know what’s causing their problem. They don’t know what some of the potential solutions to that problem could be.

Rather than taking people from completely unaware, to making them an offer, you need to attract people by taking them through stages of education and rapport building by speaking their language.

If you’re struggling to attract people, it’s often because there’s a disconnect between you and your followers.

Many people get stuck because they’re not relating to their clients and showing that they understand their problems.

It’s like they are at the top of a hole shouting at people saying, “Hey, come up here. Life is amazing!” But people are stuck in a hole and saying, “I’m stuck and don’t know how to get out.”

We need to build rapport by getting people to realise that we understand them.  We need to meet people where they are at.

We need to speak to their specific pain points in our language, and then we need to add massive value for them.

You need to help people and meet them right where they’re at. You get to know the key words your ideal clients use by talking to them.

Frank Kern, one of the world’s greatest marketers says the best way to prove to someone that you can help them is by actually helping them.

Grab people’s attention by speaking their language and then giving value that helps them specifically.

2 – Not Being Able To Hold People’s Attention

 

In order to maintain someone’s attention, you need to share that you understand their struggles as you’ve been there and that you have real solutions for them.

You need to share how you found answers and you’ve walked yourself out of the problems and what you discovered that can fast-track their process.

People need a lot of information from you in order to build trust. The challenge is that because there’s so much competition and distraction on social media, people need more time with you.

We need to be able to get people off social media in order for them to get more time with you, so they can potentially make a buying decision. Social media is not the place to rely on to sign up clients.

We’ve got to get good at knowing how to pull people off of social media and that means learning a whole lot of other skills, so you can take control and not be reliant on social media alone.

Ideally, you want to take people from social media (which is real estate that you don’t own) into your own real estate, i.e. your landing pages and your email list.

Through your funnel and nurture system, you can continue to build trust and provide value, because people are all on a journey towards the solution that you offer.

Many times people jump on other people’s Facebook Lives and quickly jump straight off again.

People scroll away quickly if you’re not offering genuine value and you’re not fully understanding where they’re coming from.

You need to be speaking directly to someone’s pain points and directly to helping them with what they are struggling with at that time.

If you’re going to do a Facebook Live, you need to know that what you’re sharing is going to engage people.

The content I share is based on real-life conversations that I have with people on a day-to-day basis.

I’m talking to clients every day and listening to what they’re saying, listening to their struggles and then designing content based on that.

For example, I’ve got 22 clients this week and based on the conversations that I have with them, I learn more about what people need, which I feed into my content plan.

3 – Unsure How To Inspire People To Take Action

A lot of people think that if they put up content posts with tips on Facebook and Instagram that they will get clients.

But it doesn’t often work that way. You also need to be able to inspire people to take action. You need to have the skill of influence.

Influence is a skill. It’s about understanding the subconscious mind, the psychology of human behaviour in decision making and what drives someone to make a choice that will improve the quality of their life.

Remember, only 3% of people are ready to buy. So there’s around 97% of people that won’t buy from you immediately.

Around 60% of people will be interested in what you’re offering if you nurture them well and potentially end up buying from you.

It’s this 60% that we need to educate and use the skill of understanding human psychology and the subconscious mind to move them along the client journey. It’s understanding the problem and also educating people about their potential solutions.

You need to help people understand that your product, your offer or your coaching package is the thing that’s going to be the best thing for them. To do this requires you to really think through your content well.

You need to structure your content and learn the human psychology that gets people hungry for more. You need to be able to speak to the subconscious mind, and you get this by understanding your ideal clients well.

Getting to know your clients often means spending lots of time coaching people for free. This helps you learn the language you need to use on social media that attracts, holds attention, inspires and influences to take action.

I’ve done hundreds and hundreds of discovery calls and strategy sessions, and that’s where I’ve formed my content for my online course and created my program. The content has been formed by many, many conversations.

I’ve got boxes and boxes of notebooks and coaching notes where I write down people’s limiting beliefs and problems and I look for patterns then teach on the findings.

Understanding your ideal clients and the psychology behind their behaviour takes hard work, but the rewards are worth it.

So to recap, the first reason why people don’t clients on social media is not knowing how to attract people by truly understanding them and giving them value.

The second reason is not being able to hold people’s attention.  You need to be able maintain people’s attention so you can educate them to move them through the buyers’ journey from unaware, all the way to making them aware of the solution you have to their problem.

The third reason is being unsure how to inspire people to take action and this requires understand the psychology of human behaviour in decision making and influence.

Would you like to know the BEST way to attract people, keep their attention, and inspire them to take action?

After running over 200 events over many years and making (and learning from) my mistakes and experiences, I’ve decided to pack the best of my learnings into one day, and I’m offering it completely free.

I’ll be sharing my 7 pillars to profit from presenting, I’ll take you behind the scenes so you learn how to create and deliver effective presentations, show you how to structure them, leverage your online events, facilitate great connections with people and know exactly how to get new, ideal clients.

3 Powerful Questions That Change The Way You Show Up

The questions we ask ourselves are so powerful in our lives. Asking yourself the right powerful questions can set your mind in a positive direction for your day, which in turns shapes your destiny.

I’m going to share with you 3 powerful questions you can ask yourself that are game-changers when it comes to the way you show up.

If you want to be a leader or an inspirational role model to your followers and community, you need to be sure you are showing up in a positive manner.

People are watching your life right now.

Failing to ask the right, powerful questions is like leaving a toddler in the house by themselves with a knife. They would run around wild like crazy.  If we’re not telling our minds and thoughts what to focus on, then our minds will also run wild.

Sadly we naturally tend towards the negative in our minds. We ask ourselves why people aren’t liking our posts. We ask ourselves if there is something wrong with us.

Often these negative questions stem from a fear of not being good enough or fear of being rejected. We are programmed to believe that we are not enough because that’s the marketing messages we receive all the time.

If we’re not intentional then we can just default into thinking the negative questions in our minds. I’m going to give you 3 belief builders that I use in my own life that are effective and help push me forward.

3 Belief Builders
1 – What Are The Great Decisions You Have Made?

We often focus on things we’ve done wrong and bad decisions or habits we have, instead of focussing on the amazing decisions we’ve made that have led to positive outcomes.

I encourage you to write them down. If you spent 5 minutes writing down your great decisions, you will find infinitely more great decisions that you’ve made than wrong decisions.

Your good decisions could be moving to a new country, enrolling in a new course, going to university or learning a new language. They could be simple decisions like cutting out sugar or starting to exercise.

2 – What Are Your Skills, Knowledge, Experience And Results?

Write out your skills, knowledge, experience and results on paper. Doing this will build your belief in yourself. It will also build your confidence.

People are looking for good, confident leaders and role models. You need to come across confidently to people, so you have to build your belief in yourself. You need to have a strong level of confidence and certainty.

Ask yourself – what are your accomplishments? What skills do you have? Can you swim well or dance well? What about in the area of your business? Are you great at marketing, sales or copywriting?

What are some of the things you know that you could teach? There have been hundreds and even thousands of hours that you have learned things throughout your life. You know so much and sometimes you just have to remind yourself that you do know enough.

3 – I Am Statements

The 3rd belief builders are ‘I am…’ statements. I am strong.  I am capable. I am confident. I am inspiring. I am valuable. I am motivated. I am resilient.

Write down as many ‘I am…’ statements as you can think of.

Some of mine are: I am worthy. I am knowledgeable. I am strong. I am capable. I am a positive influence. I am a great coach. I am a great speaker. I am dedicated. I am committed. I am growing every day.

All the ‘I am…’ statements are positive that you write down. You will find that you feel awesome after speaking these  out. These get you into the right state.

The 3 Questions you Need to Be Asking Yourself
1 – How Can I Over-deliver Today?

If you want to stand out today, you have to ask yourself; How can I overdeliver today? You can’t just be good or great, you have to be outstanding.

This doesn’t mean you have to be perfect. It just means that every time you show up, whether that is on Facebook or Instagram, in a forum or group, a coaching session or in person, you want to overdeliver.

Mastering business is all about bringing the care and the heart, so you are not just pushing out content, but you are willing to serve.

Find a community that you care for so much, that you are not just asking from them. You will be inspired to show up and serve.

Self-confidence comes from serving people at a higher level than others and having a higher standard and keeping it, even if you don’t feel like it or not.

When you create great experiences for people, they will refer other people to you. Your name will get out there and spread by word of mouth. People that overdeliver get more clients because they serve at a higher standard and surpass people’s expectations.

This requires heart. So many of us are so busy with our to do list and ticking off tasks, that we forget to step back and ask how can we be a massive blessing to others? How can I give an outstanding effort today?

We push ourselves to do more. You don’t learn this, you earn it.

If you are feeling flat or run down in your business, you need to model someone who is outstanding and overdelivering. Ask yourself every day, How can I overdeliver today?

2 – If This Was the Last Week of my Life How Would I Show Up?

The second question to ask yourself is; If this was the last week of my life, how would I show up?

Would you hold back and put things off, or would you go for it? Would you jump on Facebook Live? What would you share if you really wanted to make an impact?

If you had a whole week to spread your message, what would you do? What would you say? Who would you spend time with?

How would you show up? You would probably show up as outstanding. You would have energy and be next level. You wouldn’t be flat, depressed or complaining. You would want to have peak performance.

Why not do this every week? It’s not about hyping yourself up. It’s about asking yourself who you want to be in this world and then tapping into that reason and energy. You don’t have to force it. It’s a by-product that comes with having the desire to be the most outstanding that you can be.

3 – Why MUST I Show Up To the Best of My Ability?

Number 3 is to ask yourself; Why must I show up to the best of my ability? People need help more than ever at the moment.

You need to be evolving with the current times. Your marketing needs to reflect these current times. People want their questions answered.

People want to feel understood more than anything in the world.

One of the best feelings in the world is when someone understands us – when we pour out our hearts to someone and they truly understand us. People are craving this.

Make a decision to never settle for being anything less than the best you can be. This is what it means to be successful, to be a leader and not a follower. You have gifts that other people don’t have and you can use them to help people.

If you’re not showing up to the fullness of your ability and you know there’s more potential and more for you, these powerful questions will help you set your mindset.

3 Universal Laws That Peak Performers Use To Get Powerful Results

A lot of people struggle to progress in their business.

They want to get more clients, get events happening and get the business success they know they’re capable of.

But not a lot of people actually do what it takes to take the right consistent action to go to the next level in contributing and succeeding.

I hear people say things like, “How has another week gone past and I still haven’t achieved X?”, or “How has another week gone by and I didn’t finish Y?”

When we don’t align what we’re doing on a day-to-day basis with our bigger goals and vision, we don’t have consistent progress. This causes us incredible frustration.

If you’ve noticed yourself in a pattern of putting hard things off, procrastinating or not following through on things you told yourself you’d do, this blog and video will help you.

What I love helping people in business with is not only WHAT to do, but WHY they are NOT doing things.

If you can ‘unplug’ the blockages, the flow starts to move again. It feels amazing!

It’s easy to get our head in our laptop and get stuck into actions and not think about whether they are the BEST actions to be doing right now.

Whenever I’m feeling like this, I love revisiting universal laws, because they are solid truth. Universal laws don’t change.

So, if want to perform at a higher level and improve your results – it helps to come back to universal laws.

Understanding universal laws can provide us with a compass to see where we’re currently at, and a roadmap for how we can move forward.

What I like to do is look at universal laws and truths through the lens of an entrepreneur and how to use them to grow in business.

There are many different universal laws, however, in this blog I’m going to talk about 3 of them.

1 – The Law of Vibration

The Law of Vibration states that “Everything in the universe has a frequency and a vibration,” “Nothing ever stands still, as everything is always either being pushed away from you or pulled towards you.”

Items of similar vibration are attracted to each other. So, to use this law to manifest what you want in business, you need to match your vibration with that of what you want.

Whatever you believe with feeling becomes your reality. You feel positive about yourself to the degree of your vibration. You feel negative about yourself to the degree of your vibration.

If you’re low, flat and annoyed, resentful and disappointed, you’ll attract more of those feelings. And we attract more of those things into our business and life.

If you’re feeling inspired, determined, confident and amazing, you attract more of that. You attract people who are also feeling like that way.

Have you noticed this in action?

Failure breeds failure. Success breeds success.

A client of mine recently said she’d never had a flat tyre in her life, and then she had 4 in 1 month.  I locked myself out of my apartment 3 times in one week.

When you’re putting out positive vibes, positive things start to flow around you. I’ve seen this so many times in my life and the lives of people around me.

For me personally, when I get on a roll and things are going wrong like if I get angry, kick my toe, or smash a plate, this law is triggered.  You attract that grumpy person at the post office or you find that everyone is driving slow when you’re in a big hurry.

What are you expecting to happen in your business? What are you actually expecting?

If you expect that you’re meant to be a great success in life, you’ll press through to your goals. Nothing will stop you.

But if you believe it’s just luck or a fluke, or it doesn’t really matter what you do today because nothing works, then you won’t push forward and you will be disappointed.

Happy people attract other happy people. A person with an abundant mindset attracts other people with abundant mindsets.

Everything you do and have in your life is because of who you are and who you have been.  You can have and do more because you can change who you are being.

You can keep your thoughts on what you want and refuse to think about what you don’t want.

The more you think of yourself and your life as uniquely brilliant and important, the more you attract the resources, ideas, opportunities and people to help you become the person you see in your future.

You’re surrounded by the outcome of decisions you’ve made in the past. You are also fully capable of making other decisions and attracting a different set of circumstances.

If you’re in the vibration of consistency, you’ll keep showing up and being consistent and writing content and doing those FB Lives and running those webinars that are going to lead you to success.

The more you believe it, the more likely it will happen. If you keep telling yourself that webinars don’t work, or Facebook ads don’t work, you are creating your own self-fulfilling prophecy.

Your beliefs become your reality. You have to believe in your success and practice believing it. It takes work to raise your vibration.

Whatever you expect with confidence becomes your own self-fulfilling prophecy. What you get is not necessarily what you want in life, but what you expect.

Successful people expect to be happy, fulfilled, liked, and successful. People who show up at their events expecting to get clients are seldom disappointed.

Unsuccessful people have an attitude of pessimism, cynicism and negativity that causes situations to work out the exact way they are expecting.

The Law of Attraction and Vibration work in parallel with each other. You apply the law of Attraction and Vibration in your business by confidently expecting to gain something worthwhile from everything that’s happening to you in your life.

Instead of going down the path of negative thoughts that say it’s too hard, I can’t do this or things have gone terribly.  Choose to confidently expect that things are going to work out for you.

Imagine if you lived your life absolutely convinced that everything was conspiring to make you happy and successful? I have an action prompt for each of these 3 universal laws.

The first one is – What is a question I could ask myself every day to prompt a positive vibration?

The questions we ask ourselves before we get up and before we go to sleep are the most important questions we can ask ourselves.

If we want to produce more, at a higher level and achieve more progress and productivity, we want to wrap our day with powerful questions.

This is one way to raise your vibration.Your unconscious mind goes to work on the question throughout the day or the night.

Morning Questions to Raise Positive Vibrations

  1. How can I best be of service today?
  2. Who needs me to be at my A-game?
  3. How can I be my most powerful and confident self today?
  4. How can I use my time most effectively today?
  5. How can I show kindness today?

I think to myself that I have a community of people watching my life  (and so do you). You have a community of people watching your life and you have influence over them. I don’t take that responsibility lightly.

You can change someone’s mood with your vibration and positivity. The way that I show up affects other people.

Coaches know how much this is true. If you jump on a coaching call and you’re struggling, you can’t fake your vibration. It’s important that you start each day making powerful, positive choices that increase your positive vibration.

Evening Questions to Raise Positive Vibrations

  1. How many ways can I continue to become an even more effective coach?
  2. How many ways can I continue to become an even more wealthy business owner?
  3. How many ways can I trust more?

Using the law of vibration to our advantage is so motivating because it’s about our BFS – our Best Future Self. So it’s not just about having more money or more clients, it’s about the IDENTITY of WHO we want to be and see ourselves being in our future.

2 The Law of Correspondence

The Law of Correspondence states that your outer world is a reflection of your inner world. This is your true self. Your outer world of health corresponds to your inner world of beliefs about your health. Your outer world of finances corresponds to your inner world of beliefs about money.

When you work on your inner world, you start to reflect and produce the result in the outer world.

Our lives are created by the subconscious patterns we repeat every single day, and these patterns either serve us or hold us back. And most of our patterns are unconscious, in fact around 90% are on auto-pilot.

Any thought or idea that you accept as true in your conscious mind will be accepted in your subconscious mind. It’s really important what we put into our conscious mind what we want and not what we don’t want.

This is because your unconscious mind will immediately go to work to bring it into your reality, making all your words, feelings, actions and even body language fit a pattern that’s consistent with your dominant thoughts and goals.

If you look at someone who is hunched over and really small in their body, no doubt their dominant thoughts are negative about themselves.

We can activate this law by becoming aware of your own patterns, and then consciously taking action steps to break them. We need to be intentional about this.

We need to take time each day to soak your mind in positive and uplifting thoughts. Whatever you dwell on long enough and hard enough, will eventually materialise in the world around you.

The more you think about something, the more it comes towards you. This is where coaching is so powerful. We can’t see our own blind spots.

Coaches reflect our unconscious mind back to us. They reflect back what’s really going on in our inner world. If your business, or your health, your relationships, your finances are not thriving, you need to clean up your thinking.

So I have a simple challenge. Give yourself one word to focus on every week. It could be brave, joyful, inspiring, grateful, organised, flow, consistent, abundant, focus, calm, resilient.

Repeat these words and write them down somewhere you can see it a lot and when you see it, speak it out over yourself. Doing this sets your sail in the right direction.

Words change how we feel. If we have worry, confusion, doubt and overwhelm playing around in our mind, our outer world will reflect it.

3. The Law Of Cause And Effect

The Law of Cause and Effect states that any action causes a reaction. Whatever you put out, whether it be good or bad, you are going to get right back at you.

There are specific actions for being successful and for being unsuccessful. Most people think that life is just happening to them and they are just an effect of what’s happening.

They don’t realise that they have the choice to be the cause. When you’re a cause, you take full responsibility for your results.

It’s not always easy to admit this. It’s a bit of a wakeup call. When you realise that everything you have or don’t have, is because of you, it can be confronting.

A lot of people are looking externally at other people or things instead of being present to themselves and the opportunities that they can create.

We’re thinking thousands of thoughts every day. When we’re at the effect side of the equation, the thoughts are usually about what is happening TO us, not what we are creating.

When we live at cause, not effect, we realise that if we want to attract something into our business or into our life, WE have to take ownership. We need to realise I’M the cause of what’s happening.

If you want incredible clients, you need to be an incredible client. If you want incredible wealth, you need to invest time energy and money into your wealth.

When you realise that everything that is happening in your life is because of you, you start to become present to opportunities, clients and creativity.

A lot of people are deleting and rejecting opportunities constantly because they’re living in effect and not taking productive quality outputs that really matter. If you want to attract something into your business, you have to be it!

I want clients who don’t get stuck in hesitation, so I don’t allow myself to get stuck in hesitation. I want clients who are happy and committed, so I am happy and committed first. I want clients who give referrals, so I work at being a coach who is worthy of referrals.

Whatever you are reaping today is the result of what you sowed in the past.  If you wish to reap a different result, you need to plant different seeds today.

Sometimes reaping the seed you’ve sown takes patience. If you have planted seeds in the ground, keep watering them with positive thoughts, positive words and actions. One day they are going to come up fast like bamboo. But it requires trust.

There’s sometimes a lag time between sowing and reaping. It’s almost like a test. Your life is not a sprint, it’s more like an ultra-long marathon.

This law shows you that we will be compensated for our work as long as we’re open to receiving in all the many ways that results can be delivered to us.
